FIRST U.S ELECTION RESULT OUT: Trump and Harris' 3-3 Deadlock in Dramatic Dixville Notch Kickoff [Video]

FIRST U.S ELECTION RESULT OUT: Trump and Harris' 3-3 Deadlock in Dramatic Dixville Notch Kickoff

In a dramatic kickoff to the U.S. presidential election, the small New Hampshire town of Dixville Notch witnessed an historic tie between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, with each candidate securing three votes. As the first town in the nation to cast ballots, Dixville Notch's evenly split results set the stage for a closely contested race. This notable occurrence reflects the national polling trends, indicating a tight race ahead. The tradition of midnight voting in Dixville Notch dates back to 1960, and this year’s split vote underscores the intense competition between the two candidates. As Trump seeks to reclaim the presidency after his 2020 exit, Harris aims to make history as the first woman and the first person of Indian descent to hold the office. With swing states poised to play a crucial role in determining the election outcome, this early result adds an intriguing twist to an already electrifying electoral landscape. #TrumpVsHarris #KamalaHarris #HarrisVsTrump #DonaldTrump #TrumpVsHarrisPolls #KamalaHarrisVsTrump #DonaldTrumpVsKamalaHarris #Trump #TrumpVsHarrisDebate #TrumpHarris #KamalaHarrisVsTrumpDebate #Harris #TrumpHarrisDebate #TrumpVsHarrisUSElections #KamalaHarrisVsDonaldTrump #HarrisTrumpDebate
